I want to share an interesting ad I saw in the paper the other day: Wealthy fast food addict in search of an Austin business consultant to guide him in the purchase of a fast food franchise so he can save money on burgers and fries.Okay! I didn’t really see that ad, but I know Texas business strategists and business coaches all around your area that could help that person, or you, find and purchase a franchise by guiding you through the process if that’s what you want to do.Just so happens that, even though I’m awful with an opening joke, I know a few things about buying a franchise myself that I learned from Austin business consultants. This time I’ll be serious, so please keep reading.As with anything, common questions arise that you want answered before you begin to even consider buying a franchise. Before you consult with a Texas business consultant or business strategist, you must read the answers to those questions and save yourself some time and maybe money.How does a franchisor make his money?They consult a Texas business coach like you will!

Students of my presentation training often tell me one of the “pearls of wisdom” they value most is learning how to distinguish between a performance and communication orientation.Speakers with a performance orientation view audiences as critics who are judging how they make their presentation. As a result, these presenters become over-focused on their wording and delivery. Presenters with a communication orientation focus on connecting and communicating with their audiences. They look at presentations as conversations, not performances, and enjoy one-to-one, friendly, personal connection with individuals in the audience.Understanding the difference between hypervigilance and attunement can be as valuable to great communicators as shifting from a performance to a communications orientation.When we are hypervigiliant, we are constantly looking for signals that we are not loved, appreciated, respected, cared about and helped enough. We are stressed, fearful and anxious, grounded in a flight-or-fight mentality.Thirteen years ago, I was appointed general manager of a large public relations firm and cha

Planning and conducting a successful corporate conference is an enormous and important task. Huge sums of money are usually invested. Huge amounts of time, too!Here are twelve quick tips to help make your big event an even bigger success.1. Use BIG, CLEAR names on nametags.Use a bold, sans-serif typeface with the largest possible letter size. Nametags should be easy to read from at least 12 feet (3 meters) away. The whole purpose of a nametag is to make it easy for people to meet, mingle and say ‘Hello!’ No sense giving out nametags that require your conference participants to squint and stare.2. Keep participants hot by keeping the room cool.Keep your conference room temperature set toward cool. Studies show people are most alert at 62–64° Fahrenheit (16–17° Celsius).Have participants move and stay active during the conference. If necessary, advise them in advance to wear a suit, light jacket or sweater.This approach to room temperature is much better than looking out over an audience that is too warm, too cozy and too, too close to sleep!3. Distribute a participants’ netwo

Once the website has been created and published, many new website owners think that the project is finished. But in reality, the real work is just beginning. In order to create a money-making site, traffic must be generated and driven to the website. There are several effective methods that can be implemented in Tier II for this to occur. While all methods may not be required to see successful traffic generation, some combination of most if not all will probably be needed to create traffic, maintain traffic and finally, grow traffic to our website with long-term results. Consider implementing these strategies:
- Dynamic content is necessary and by updating the website frequently the
search engines see your website as active, not stagnant. How often should changes
be made? At the very least, monthly. But the more frequent the changes, the better.
There are some tried and true methods you may want to employ:
- Monthly newsletter (or weekly)
- Tip of the day that rotates to the page using a script from an existing database of information at your site
- RSS feed to public news feeds that update hourly or daily at the least
- Changes to contact information, staffing, clients, etc.
- Checking the links frequently to make sure that they are active and valid
- Simple modification of content from time to time should be done in between these regular maintenance tasks which will update the website
- Good links management results in a positive weight given by the search engines
for search positioning. The algorithms used for weighting one page over another
require link popularity assessment for successful traffic to your website. Link
popularity is also one of the main contributions to Google and Alexa Page Rank.
How do you achieve link popularity? It can be tedious and requires careful attention
to the selection of the links, but there are several means that can be employed:
- Reciprocal Links - Search for relevant and desired web pages with which to trade links
- Purchase Page Rank-based links to boost your relevance and weight in the eyes of search engines
- List with directories, paid or unpaid that will give your website additional exposure
- Create the links with link text in mind, designed to utilize relevant keywords
- Link only with websites that have decent PageRank (PR); i.e., PR of 3 at a minimum, PR of 4 would be the ideal minimum
- Blogs - web logs linked to your site or posting t
